Hmmm - sounds to me like you want the serialization library.

The serialization library looks nice but I didn't think it was designed for this task, although I admit I haven't finished its documentation.

The general problem is I have binary data comming out of a 3rd party tool that I need to import and convert to something the application can work with. Also several different formats of binary input data can be imported and have the same representation in the application.

Is this a good match for serialization?

No, it isn't. I haven't seen the library posted in the sandbox, hopefully that is closer to what you really need.
